Problems with...Leveling Jacks

[normandlegra]

I have this pisspoor Lippert hydraulic leveling system on my 2010 MH
Last winter, doing a monthly checkup on my mechanical and electronic systems, I started the engine without any problem, closed all extensions to finally attempt to retract the hydraulic jacks; what a pain in the rear that was...
Instead of rectracting all jacks by hitting the "retract all jacks", this pisspoor Lippert electronic device fully extended the hydraulic jacks so that all wheels were off the ground !
Just to suck it a bit more, all of the electronic panel just went dead; finally after searching for that problem, a 40 AMP breaker for the hydraulic pump was OFF; resetting that breaker, I went back inside and retoggle that same "retrack all jacks" to finally lower the motorhome and all four jacks, but not completely; the breaker was OFF again for a second time. Going back to the electrical panel, I noticed that some oil was leaking from the hydraulic compartment; for sure the electric motor running the hydraulic pump was fuming and was really hot ! I noticed a lot of hydraulic oil from the end of that motor.
A friend came over and we dismanteled the motor to find out that hydraulic oil got in the motor and it needed to be cleaned...which we did.
Now I'm stuck with a stupid Lippert hydraulic system that does'nt work anymore and I'm without hydraulic jacks...

Does someone have this stupid problem ?
